For the {{{Description}}} of the same name, see [[{{{Destination}}}]]. |
The heads-up display (HUD) is a system showing the Minecraft:player's conditions. It is superimposed on their view of the game world.
Display
The HUD typically consists of the user's Minecraft:health, Minecraft:hunger and Minecraft:experience bars, the hotbar, as well as a crosshair that designates the currently focused on block or entity if the player is not playing on a mobile device and has not enabled split controls. The Minecraft:armor condition bar appears above the health bar if the player is wearing armor, and the oxygen bar displays above the hunger bar if the player's air supply unit is below 300.Template:Note Note that in the mobile versions of Bedrock Edition, the health and armor bars are on the top left and the hunger and oxygen bars are on the top right. The "UI Profile" option under the video settings can be set to "Classic" mode to match Java Edition style.
In Minecraft:Creative mode, the health, hunger, oxygen, experience and armor bars are hidden.
Hotbar
.png){kind=link}
The hotbar is a selection bar that appears on the bottom of the screen. It is where the player stores and selects commonly used Minecraft:items. It consists of the bottom nine slots within the player's inventory. When the player switches an item in hand by mouse wheel or Template:Key, its name is shown above the experience level for a short period of time. Template:IN, this name appears in italics, while Template:In, the text has a black background and also shows Minecraft:enchantments of the selected item, and contents of a shulker box. The background opacity can be adjusted with the "Text Background Opacity" option in the accessibility settings. The slots of the hotbar are the programmer art sand texture slightly darkened.
Players can Minecraft:dual wield allowing a second item to be shown on the other side, along with an additional hotbar slot on the same side.Template:Only Both the slot and the item are shown only if it contains an item, which can either be added using the Minecraft:GUI or by pressing "Template:Control".
Template:IN, the hotbar has an additional button for the inventory when using touch controls. On the Minecraft:New Nintendo 3DS Edition, the hotbar is located on the "Touch Screen" and is slightly different.
Hand
The player's hand is always shown on the right side of the screen (left side if the player's main hand is set to "left"),Template:Only and corresponds to the player's hand in the Minecraft:skin. Template:IN, all animations from the hand as seen in third person are also seen on the HUD, including the breathing animation and eating/drinking. When an item in the hotbar is selected, it shows in place of the hand rotated similarly to held items in third-person, with a switching animation. Some held items can show animations, and when charging a Minecraft:crossbow in Bedrock Edition, the left hand can also be seen. Items can also be held in the Minecraft:offhand slot, which will show on the other side, but an empty hand is not shown. With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, directional light effects (shadows, caustics, light) are also visible on the hand, and held items apply their texture sets.
The hand can be toggled independently from the HUD in Bedrock Edition, meaning that it can be shown standalone without other HUD elements. However, pressing Template:Key still hides the hand.
Locator bar
The locator bar appears in place of the experience bar, except when gaining Minecraft:XP. It shows the position of other Minecraft:players in Minecraft:multiplayer as colored square indicators, often referred to as waypoints. They appear approximately within 120° of the camera facing towards the target. If the target is on a significantly different Y-level, an arrow pointing to the target vertically appears over the square indicator.
The color of a waypoint is randomly assigned to a player when they join a multiplayer game, or when a waypoint is tracked for the entity; it may also be assigned by their Minecraft:team color. In Java Edition, it can be customized using the Template:Cmd command.
The locator bar can be toggled by the Template:Cd game rule. In Java Edition, entities in the locator bar may be tracked if Template:Cd attribute is set.
Crosshair
The crosshair is a small cross in the middle of the screen. It shows the aim point of the Minecraft:tool or Minecraft:item being held to entities or blocks for attacking or any interactions within a specific range from the player. The crosshair inverts the colors of the area it is upon, which can result in a nearly invisible crosshair if the area is a medium gray. The crosshair is only shown on touch devices when the control mode is set to "Joystick & aim crosshair", or when the "Split Controls" option is enabled.
Chat
Template:Main Chat messages are also shown on the HUD, in the bottom left cornerTemplate:Only/top left cornerTemplate:Only, showing anything recently spoken or commands recently executed. Template:IN, this can be expanded with Template:Key, allowing the player to enter chat messages or commands, and view the full chat history. Template:IN, pressing Template:Key opens the chat menu, which is not part of the HUD but a separate Minecraft:menu screen.
Elements such as the chat size, background opacity, its visibility in general, font, text color, and more can be changed in the Minecraft:optionsTemplate:Only/chat settings.Template:Only
Closed captions
Closed captions display text for Minecraft:sounds in-game. When turned on, this lists sounds in the world that are nearby to the player on the right of the screen. If the sounds are offscreen, "<" or ">" point in the direction the sound is coming from. As the sound fades away, the text also fades, becoming less white.
Subtitles can be enabled in the "Music & Sounds" or "Accessibility Settings" sections of the Minecraft:options menu,Template:Only or in Minecraft:options.txt.Template:Only
Effects
Template:Main
All Minecraft:effects (other than effects with hideParticles, including Minecraft:Darkness from the warden<ref>Template:Bug</ref>) the player currently has are shown on the top-right of the screen. Effects that run out sooner appear farther to the left, and effects that are about to run out start to flash. Additionally, positive effects are shown on the top, and other effects (neutral or negative) are shown on the bottom. Beacon effects have a blue (instead of gray) outline, and effects with particles hidden are not indicated in the HUD.
Riding mobs
Upon mounting a Minecraft:horse, Minecraft:donkey, Minecraft:mule, Minecraft:llama, Minecraft:pig, Minecraft:strider, Minecraft:camel, Minecraft:happy ghast, Minecraft:nautilus or Minecraft:zombie nautilus, the ridden mob's health bar appears above the hunger bar. It uses a slightly different heart texture than the player's health bar, with them made to resemble saddles.
Also, upon mounting a horse, camel, nautilus or zombie nautilus, the jump bar (for horses) or the dash bar (for camels, nautiluses and zombie nautiluses) also appears above the experience bar. When riding a Minecraft:skeleton horse underwater, the oxygen bar, if necessary, appears above the mob health bar.
Action bar
Template:Main The action bar is a space just above the player's hotbar where text can be displayed. Some gameplay elements, such as Minecraft:jukeboxes, use this to give contextual hints to the player. Text can also be displayed here using the Template:Cmd command. Template:IN, the opacity of the black background of the action bar can be adjusted with the "Action Bar Background Opacity" option in the accessibility settings.
Autosave indicator
The autosave indicator indicates when the game is autosaving. In Minecraft:Java Edition, this is turned on by default and shows "Saving world" in the bottom-right of the screen. In Minecraft:Bedrock Edition, this is turned off by default and shows an animation of an arrow pointing into a Minecraft:chest in the top-right of the screen.
Whether or not this appears can be toggled in the Minecraft:options.
Bossbar
A bossbar is a bar at the top of the screen that can track Minecraft:health of a boss mob or the total health of Minecraft:raid mobs. The bossbar appears naturally in the game through three means: during a Minecraft:raid, after constructing a Minecraft:wither, and upon entering Minecraft:the End if the Minecraft:ender dragon has not yet been defeated. In Java Edition, a bossbar can be created manually using the /bossbar command. There is a limit to the number of bars shown.
Screen effects and overlays
Template:Main Screen effects encompass a variety of effects applied alongside or beneath the heads-up display as augmentations to the Minecraft:player's point of view as a method of conveying further information about a player's current state.
Screen title
Template:Main
A screen title is displayed to players as a single line of large center-aligned text in the middle of their displays, and can include a subtitle; a second, separate line of text displayed just below the title. It is controlled with the /title and /titleraw commands. Template:IN, the opacity of the black background of the screen title can be adjusted with the "Text Background Opacity" option in the accessibility settings.
Scoreboard
The scoreboard system is a complex gameplay mechanic utilized through Minecraft:commands. Mainly intended for mapmakers and Minecraft:server operators, scoreboards are used to track, set, and list the scores of Minecraft:entities in a myriad of different ways. It is displayed on the right side of the screen.
Toasts
Template:Main Toasts are text boxes shown when the player unlocks new crafting recipes. Additionally, Template:In, exclusive toasts show when a new music track starts playing, or the player obtains advancements. Most of them show up in the top right corner of the screen, and are displayed in front of effect icons. Music toasts appear in the top left of the screen instead.
Tutorial hints (also known as game tips in Minecraft:Bedrock Edition) are toasts which show up when a player starts a world in Minecraft:Survival mode for the first time on a device. They are meant to guide new players who may not know the controls. These can be turned off in the Minecraft:settings.Template:Only
If multiple recipes are unlocked at once, they all use the same toast. If multiple advancements are unlocked at once, they appear listed one under the other. Up to five toasts can be displayed at once.
Template:IN, the duration of toast messages can be adjusted in the accessibility settings.
Demo timer
In the demo mode, a timer shows on the top-right indicating the remaining free playtime for that world.
Bedrock Edition exclusive elements
Controller hints
When using a controller, available actions the player can take are listed on the bottom left and right of the screen, alongside the icon of the button to press to perform that action.
Mobile controller
These buttons are present only in mobile and desktop versions with a touchscreen, and they are used to control the player. Players can Minecraft:sneak, fly and jump using the mobile controller.

The position, scale, and opacity of individual controls can be customized in the touch settings.
In addition to control buttons, there is a row of static buttons at the top of the screen, allowing to change perspective (if enabled), open the game menu, open the Minecraft:chat, and access Minecraft:emotes. The size of these buttons can be adjusted.
An independent action button sometimes appears above the hotbar when a unique action can be performed.
Paper doll
The paper doll is a side-view of the player displayed in the top-left corner of the screen. It shows the player's Minecraft:skin and any Minecraft:armor worn. If the player is walking, the paper doll shows the player's legs moving. If the player is Minecraft:sneaking, sprint-Minecraft:swimming, emoting, or flying with Minecraft:elytra, this can also be seen.
The paper doll can be toggled by pressing Template:Key on keyboard, or in the Minecraft:settings. This can be done independently from hiding the HUD, although pressing Template:Key also disables the paper doll.
Position and Days Played
If enabled in the Minecraft:world options, the player's Minecraft:coordinates and/or days played will be displayed in a box in the top left of the screen. If both are enabled at the same time, the position is listed above the number of days played. Both are shown below the paper doll, and above the chat. The background opacity of this text is affected by the "Text Background Opacity" accessibility setting.
Identify
In the Minecraft:controls menu, a keybind can be assigned to Identify for keyboard & mouse or controller modes. Once pressed in-game, this shows above the hotbar (as an item tooltip) the name of the Minecraft:block or Minecraft:entity the player currently faces. If an entity has been renamed, the custom name will display instead. This is only shown when an object in front of the player can be interacted with (usually hitting or breaking), so Minecraft:water or objects far away are not described.
Splitscreen
Minecraft:Splitscreen mode on consoles divides the screen into sections for each player, each having its own HUD. The gamertag of the respective player is shown on the top-right of the HUD for each section, which can be toggled in the video settings.
Compass
Available in the Minecraft:Editor only, a compass shows on the top-right of the world viewer in tool mode. This rotates accordingly with the player's view, showing the increasing or decreasing directions of X and Z Minecraft:coordinates. Clicking on a direction of the compass turns the camera into that direction. It shows as part of the HUD in the actual world viewer; not as part of the GUI overlay from tool mode. It can be toggled in the settings.
Java Edition exclusive elements
Attack indicator
The attack indicator represents the attack cooldown timer. It can be displayed next the the crosshair, beside the hotbar, or be hidden completely. This disappears when the cooldown is full. If the Minecraft:option for the attack indicator is set to "Crosshair" mode, a fully cooled weapon is being held, and a mob or player is in range, the sword icon and an additional plus-sign (+) indicator is shown below the crosshair, indicating that the weapon is in range to land a full-damage blow.
If the option for the attack indicator is set to "Hotbar" mode, the attack cooldown timer is indicated by a sword icon near the crosshair that fills, representing the cooldown progress. This sword icon disappears once the item is fully charged.
In the combat tests, a shield indicator can also be enabled in the same locations.
Debug screen
Template:Main The debug screen (also commonly referred to as the "F3 screen") is triggered when F3 is pressed. It functions as a menu for accessing debugging information, but it also provides useful in-game information like player coordinates.

In Java Edition, various settings related to the Minecraft:chat can be modified in Minecraft:options. Template:IN, these settings can only be changed in the chat settings accessible from the chat menu, except for the opacity and message duration, which can be changed in the accessibility settings.
In Bedrock Edition, the opacity of several HUD elements can be changed in the accessibility settings, as well as toast notification duration.
In Bedrock Edition, the UI style can be toggled between Classic and Pocket. Pocket UI (default on mobile) moves certain objects such as the health and hunger bar to the top corners of the screen.
China Edition
In Minecraft:China Edition, a "2 button" can be seen at the top of the screen. There is also a button to allow the player to take a screenshot or switch the camera and change voice settings.
